"Sounds like a plan to me," he agreed, because they didn't have much choice but to find it, so, no giving up, they'd scour the whole place if they had to.
Did he see it? Anything? "Nope, you?" he called back to his partner.
With no success on his end, Zeke was beginning to think they were at the wrong place, and that they should explore the towers, split up if they had to. Maybe. But as he was about to suggest it, Janelle came through with something, and that something, was IT. "Nice one," he praised as he joined her, noticing that she'd already assigned the values. As for 'doing his thing', Zeke grinned, slipping both the parchment and quill from Janelle's fingers.
"First floor corridor, is Tanner serious?" he exclaimed, hoping he'd made an error with his calculations. Like... that was a fair walk away. Geeeeez. Then again, class was down there, SO.... not so far in the grand scheme of things? How many of these did they have left? Just one more? And then... that was it? The woman was sending them in a circle through the castle? Some might see that as rude, she could have at least put a stop at the kitchens or something.
Janelle watched as Zeke completed the calculations on the numbers she had written. She groaned as he noted that their next stop was the first floor.
"Is she trying to make sure that we get our proper exercise today?" At least they were going down this time, not up.
"Now the big question is, where on the first floor might the parchment be?" They had way too many options and that was not good. The clock was ticking and Janelle was not sure how much time they had left. She guessed that they could think about it on the way down.
"Come on. We'd better get going before we run out of time." Janelle headed toward the stairs and then turned around to make sure that Zeke was coming. "First floor, here we come", she thought to herself.
